2. Getting Started
2.1. CONECTIONS
2.1.1. SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
When setting up your processor, make connections as follows:
• Do not power the unit until the input and output connector are plugged.
• Connect the output(s) from the sound source (mixer) to the Ch. 1 XLR input connector (mono) or both, Ch. 1 and Ch. 2 XLR
• input connectors (stereo).
•
Connect the output XLR connector(s) to the input connector(s) of the selected power amplifier(s).
•
Always make sure that your power amps are the last item turned on and the first turned off. Once all of the connections have
been made, and the device is powered up, you can navigate through the entire signal path of your processor from the front
panel.
The display provides you with a clear and concise overview of each aspect of the signal path from the input (left side of display) to
the output section (right side of display).
2.1.2. REMOTE MONITORING AND CONTROL
For the quickest and easiest results we recommend to install and use the PC or MAC configuration software. It provides a complete
and comprehensive tool to make your loudspeaker configuration settings, and to manage your presets. When connecting the unit
via USB, make sure to connect it directly to your computer or to use a USB hub that supports USB 1.0. If you have problems with the
USB connection, please refer to the Installation Guide for details on how to install the proper driver.
When connecting the unit via an Ethernet network, you have several options. The PC/MAC application has an auto-discovery tool
that will automatically connect to any unit found on the network. Please refer to the Software Manual available on our website for
details on the control software.

2.1.2.1. STANDARD DHCP NETWORK
For the easiest connection, use a standard Ethernet Router, plug in the unit and your computer, and the connection should be
made automatically. Standard routers have a DHCP server built in and enabled. A DHCP server assigns a network address to
your computer and to the
TEO
d9, allowing them to connect automatically.
• 2.1.2.2. CONNECTION WITHOUT DHCP SERVER
Alternatively, you can use a direct (cross) cable or a simple Ethernet Switch to connect the unit to your PC or MAC. Please
note that in this case, especially Windows computers may take up to several minutes to assign themselves a network address
(indicated by the text: “This connection has limited or no connectivity”).
The computer and the
TEO
d9 both will assign themselves a network address in the ZeroConfig range (169.254.0.0 -
169.254.255.255), and the
TEO
d9 will be discovered automatically by the PC/MAC application. To facilitate connections wi-
thout DHCP router, it may be convenient to set your computer to a fixed IP address. If you do this, please choose any address
in the ZeroConfig range, and set the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0.
•
2.1.2.3. FIXED IP ADDRESS
It is also possible to set a fixed IP address and subnet mask for the
TEO
d9. WARNING: If you set a wrong address (in a
different range than your computer), you may not be able to connect anymore. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to consult a
system administrator before making such settings.
•
2.1.2.4. FIREWALL
After starting the software application for the first time, your computer may ask you to allow or block the application access
to the network. Please make sure to allow this; if there is a firewall between the application and the
TEO
d9, the application will
not find the
TEO
d9.
